[issue1346874] httplib simply ignores CONTINUE

André,

As I said I'm not sure if I am fixing the same thing that this bug was
originally posted for. However, after looking at my code I realized that I
just did a quick work around for my situation and it shouldn't be put into
any python release.

This issue is that after a client receives a CONTINUE the client needs to
send the balance of the data. My issue is that the client wouldn't always
do that and the server would hang. So there seems to be a bug
with regard to a reasonable timeout.

When I write RESTful web services I often need to implement CONTINUE, but
this status is rarely used, so I guess I don't use it too regularly.
